OBJECTIVE: To put forward a proposal for the name standardization of Chinese herbal pieces. METHODS: Through searching literatures and analyzing each edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the existing problems about the name of Chinese herbal pieces in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia were found out to put forward solutions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: There are many non-standard problems, such as non-standard name of crude Chinese herbal pieces, non-standard name of processed Chinese herbal pieces, “jing” and “gan” added before the name of Chinese herbal pieces, “pian” added after the name of Chinese herbal pieces. Based on these problems, suggestions for naming processed and non-processed Chinese herbal pieces were put forward, including noting processing method before the name of Chinese herbal medicines, adding processed form name after the name of Chinese herbal medicines, adding accessories name before the name of Chinese herbal medicines, maintaining the consistency and completeness of the names of Chinese herbal pieces and medicines, must marking “sheng” when using toxic Chinese medicine pieces in medical treatment, and no appearing of the tablets in the name, etc.
